MPA GIA Sharing Session (Virtual)

Did you miss the recent sharing for Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore’s Global Internship Award (MPA GIA) on campus this week?

Fret not as we have 2 more virtual sharing sessions coming up!

Have you ever wanted to experience what it is like to work overseas? Enhance your internship by joining the MPA GIA where you can gain overseas exposure and network with industry professionals in maritime! All disciplines are welcome to apply.

Developed by the MPA in 2013 and administered by the Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) with effect 2024, the MPA GIA is a talent development programme targeting local, high-achieving undergraduate students in their penultimate year from both maritime and non-maritime disciplines in universities.  The programme aims to raise awareness of the importance of the maritime industry to Singapore and the global economy, as well as increase their understanding of the enriching and rewarding maritime career opportunities available.

The MPA GIA involves a 12-week programme with maritime companies from May to October and includes a stint at any of their overseas offices for up to 6 weeks. MPA will fully cover the GIA allowance, the costs of a return economy-class airfare, overseas accommodation, travel and travel-related expenses (e.g. insurance).  For the programme duration in Singapore and overseas, students will undergo structured experiential learning with the host companies and gain hands-on industry exposure to deepen their industry knowledge.

Remember to join us on our virtual sharing sessions either on 11th November 2025 (Tuesday) and 9th December 2025 (Tuesday), at 3pm to find out more and clarify any questions you may have.

The link to the sharing will be shared to the email you register your interest with.
